World Baseball Classic

Other than Satan’s network changing the schedule to force the game between the USA and Venezuela that got Jose Altuve hurt, it has been an interesting set of games. Unfortunately, there are several players like Altuve that will now be lost for the MLB season.

Basketball 2023 - 2024 Roster

Updated again on 3/21 to move Selebangue to the Portal list.

Seeing is no longer believing?

My friends who work with AI say this is just the beginning. Near term they are especially concerned about AI being used to imitate someone's voice and answer personal questions based on info on the web to impersonate people for scams or get past voice recognition security. Combine that with AI generated imagery and Tucker Carlson doesn't even need McCarthy's help to fabricate dishonest videos.

🏀 Recruiting TU Basketball Recruiting Update (3-18-23) - More transfer portal activity

Tulsa coaches are currently evaluating a ton of players. While TU currently has one spot open, I'd expect at least one more to open and possibly three more. At this point, four more wouldn't really shock me...but it's very fluid at the moment.

Tulsa recently contacted UTSA wing DJ Richards, who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal this week. A 6-foot-5 guard out of Cypress (TX), Richards averaged 10.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Roadrunners this season.

6-6 Florida guard Kowacie Reeves entered the Transfer Portal yesterday, and Tulsa has already reached out to him as well. He averaged 8.5 points and 2.6 rebounds this season.

Along with the two LA Tech transfers Tulsa recently picked up (Cobe Williams & Keaston Willis), 6-10 Kenny Hunter is in the portal and has been in touch with Tulsa coaches.

Others in the portal contacted by Tulsa coaches include (list stolen from '23 Portal Thread):

1981 NIT final on You Tube

I just uploaded the entire broadcast of the 1981 National Invitational Tournament final in which Tulsa defeated Syracuse to You Tube. I got this from an old VHS tape so the picture quality is not great. I hope some on this board might enjoy seeing it. If nothing else people can see if Digger Phelps' commentary was as biased towards Syracuse as they remember.
